Fall Is Here! Mummy Cups, Pumpkin Beer, Pumpkin Spice Creamer, and Some Art

Yay! We had the first few stirrings of fall yesterday.  Don't get me wrong, it was still hot enough for heat stroke here in Central Alabma, but we felt a few breezes and the mornings were tolerable.  I have been waiting for this since May!  Looks like we may actually have a day or two in the 70s this week. Praise the Lord!

To celebrate I bought this super fun Mummy cup at the grocery store yesterday.  Isn't it adorable?  I have a mummy loving grandson that is going to flip over this.  

I bought myself a few fun fall items at the grocery store too.  Pumpkin ale and pumpkin spice creamer. 
These are my tickets to Elizabeth's T-day party where we share some drink related fun every week (everyone is welcome - you just need something about drinks in your post - can even be one of your favorite movies with a drink of any kind in it).  Happy T-day friends!

In celebration of fall, I also painted up this lovely card.  I followed THIS fabulous tutorial on YouTube. 
After an early morning peewee football game, I spent Saturday with my Sister and Aunt where we crafted, laughed, and caught up with each other. I got a head start on some ATCs I am doing for a swap at Splitcoaststampers.com.  I painted this fun gnome  - watercolor and white acrylic paint. Isn't he adorable?
Hope you have a lovely week!

Hugz,

Nancy

    We're still on the road so I am way behind on commenting. We've tried a lot of different beers here in Newfoundland.

    Oh pumpkin beer. I haven't bought any yet, but it is time, isn't it? I can tell I am further north because our days have been in the 60's. Summer is definitely gone from NH. Your mummy cup is too fun also. But really Nancy, you can paint. What wonderful images you created on your cards. Happy T day, and enjoy your fall pumpkin. hugs-Erika

    Here we have the heating on already, it´s cold.
    The Night Owl - super cool! As the coffee mate.
    Wow to your art. Oh, I am sad we had to let go of summer.
    Hi there, gnome - to a happy week!

    I think our fall just hit 89 degrees here! Actually we're supposed to have a day or two of the upper 80's so that's good.
    Love the ATC's. FUN!

    Hi Nancy!
    Oh, we have much cooler weather in Austria - it's below 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20.1 degrees Celsius) in our house, which we find a bit cold / uncomfortable, but we want to save heating energy this year because we don't know if we will get through the winter ("thanks" to Putin's war and the lack of gas)... and outside the temperatures are usually around 13 to 14° C (ie 55-57° F) and it rains on many days . I think it's the rainiest September here in many years. But it's okay, we also had a rather dry summer (not as dry as you guys in Alabama, of course).
    The mummy cup is the burner! :-DDD I think you're already in Halloween mode ;-)
    Your autumn card and the gnome are charming!
    Hugs and happy T Day,
    Traude

    Your fall card is so beautiful and I also like the little gnome, so cute. I'm sure your grandson will love that mummy cup, how much fun is that! I'm not so sure about pumpkin beer though, I love pumpkin in pumpkin bread and occasionally a pumpkin spice latte, but that's about it. When I went to my grocery store this morning, there was pumpkin-something everywhere - a bit too much for me, but then I don't have to buy it. Happy T day, Nancy.

    What a fun and charming post, Nancy. I LOVE that mug. It is hilarious. A bit quirky and a bit jolly.

    It's pumpkin time at the grocery stores. I haven't seen the pumpkin creamer yet, but I'm sure it won't be long. I stopped at a Whole Foods for the first time last week and was met with all kinds of gourds and pumpkins before I ever got into the store!

    Your card is stunning. It is beautiful. I really like your gnome ATC, too. I'm sure the recipient will adore it.

    Thanks for sharing your lovely card and ATC, as well as your pumpkin inspired and related drinks with us, as well as your mug, for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.

    What a lovely cup. Why is it called a mummy cup? Wow your painted card is amazing! And the gnome is cute too.
    I recognize the brand Coffeemate, but I've never seen pumpkin flavour. (we don't have that in Europe, at least of all the countries I have traveled in, I have never seen it).
    Happy T-Day,
    Lisca

    Halloween just keeps getting more and more elaborate! Witches, pumpkins (carved or not), pumpkin spice (with or without the actual pumpkin), ghosts, tombstones, and now mummies on everything!

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Dreams of Fall, Numbers, and a Cool Drink

I hate to admit it, but I am already looking forward to Fall!  That is also the theme for this House Mouse card I finished up today. I stamped this 2009 Turning Over a New Leaf (Monica) image on the envelope too because the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #392 theme is decorate your envelope too.  On the card, I stamped the image, popped up some of the leaves and drew in some branches.  The background and leaves are watercolored with DOX ink.  Monica is colored with pencils and watercolor.   I sure wished it was Fall on Saturday when we were watching our youngest grandson at the 6U All Star State Championship. It was very hot. His team lost in the semi-finals. We were very proud of how hard they played. Speaking of baseball, I did two pages on our two All-Stars. I am linking them up to the Numbers theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .  I have numbers in the journaling and there are numbers on their jerseys.   The All Stars cap ...

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...
